Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork 

Reduction Act Review 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 

has submitted the information 

collection request titled ‘‘The National 

Survey of Family Growth (NSFG)’’ to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval. CDC 

previously published a ‘‘Proposed Data 

Collection Submitted for Public 

Comment and Recommendations’’ 

notice on April 7, 2023 to obtain 

comments from the public and affected 

agencies. CDC received one comment 

related to the previous notice. This 

notice serves to allow an additional 30 

days for public and affected agency 

comments. 

CDC will accept all comments for this 

proposed information collection project. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

that: 

(a) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agencies estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

(d) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including, through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses; and 

(e) Assess information collection 

costs. 

To request additional information on 

the proposed project or to obtain a copy 

of the information collection plan and 

instruments, call (404) 639–7570. 

Comments and recommendations for the 

proposed information collection should 

be sent within 30 days of publication of 

this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/

Proposed Project 

The National Survey of Family 

Growth (NSFG) (OMB Control No. 

0920–0314, Exp. 12/31/2024)— 

Revision—National Center for Health 

Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Section 306 of the Public Health 

Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as 

amended, authorizes that the Secretary 

of Health and Human Services (DHHS), 

acting through NCHS, shall collect 

statistics on ‘‘family formation, growth, 

and dissolution,’’ as well as 

‘‘determinants of health’’ and 

‘‘utilization of health care’’ in the 

United States. This clearance request 

includes the data collection in 2024– 

2026 for the continuous National Survey 

of Family Growth (NSFG). 

The NSFG was conducted 

periodically between 1973 and 2002, 

continuously in 2006–2010, and after a 

break of 15 months, continuously in 

2011–2019, by the NCHS, CDC. Each 

year, about 13,500 households will be 

screened, with about 5,000 participants 

interviewed annually. Participation in 

the NSFG is completely voluntary and 

confidential. Interviews are expected to 

average 50 minutes for males and 75 

minutes for females. The response rate 

during the 2011–2019 data collection 

period ranged from 64.5% to 74.0%, 

and the cumulative response rate for 

this 8-year fieldwork period was 67.7%. 

The NSFG program produces 

descriptive statistics which document 

factors associated with birth and 

pregnancy rates, including 

contraception, infertility, marriage, 

cohabitation, and sexual activity, in the 

US household population 15–49 years 

(15–44 prior to 2015), as well as 

behaviors that affect the risk of HIV and 

other sexually transmitted diseases 

(STD). The survey also disseminates 

statistics on the medical care associated 

with contraception, infertility, 

pregnancy, and related health 

conditions. 

NSFG data users include the DHHS 

programs that fund the survey, 

including CDC/NCHS and eleven others 

within the Department of Health and 

Human Services: 

• Eunice Kennedy Shriver National 

Institute for Child Health and Human 

Development (NIH/NICHD) 

• Office of Population Affairs (OPA) 

• Children’s Bureau in the 

Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF/CB) 

• Office of Planning, Research, and 

Evaluation (ACF/CB) 

• Office on Women’s Health (OASH/ 

OWH) 

• CDC’s Division of HIV/AIDS 

Prevention (CDC/NCHHSTP/DHAP) 

• CDC’s Division of STD Prevention 

(CDC/NCHHSTP/DSTDP) 

• CDC’s Division of Adolescent and 

School Health (CDC/NCHHSTP/ 

DASH) 

• CDC’s Division of Reproductive 

Health (CDC/NCCDPHP/DRH) 

• CDC’s Division of Cancer Prevention 

and Control (CDC/NCCDPHP/DCPC) 

• CDC’s Division of Violence 

Prevention (CDC/NCIPC/DVP) 

The NSFG is also used by state and 

local governments (primarily for

benchmarking to national data); private 

research and action organizations 

focused on men’s and women’s health, 

child well-being, and marriage and the 

family; academic researchers in the 

social and public health sciences; 

journalists, and many others. 

This submission requests approval for 

a revision to NSFG data collection for 

three years. The revision request 

includes the increase of the main survey 

incentive from $40 to $60, a small set 

of questionnaire revisions beginning in 

Year 3 (2024) data collection and to 

conduct several methodological studies 

designed to improve the efficiency and 

validity of NSFG data collection for the 

purposes described above. The total 

estimated annualized time burden to 

respondents is 6,584 hours. There is no 

cost to respondents other than their 

time.

collection project titled National 

Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). 

NHSN provides facilities, States, 

regions, and the nation with data

measure the progress of prevention 

efforts, and ultimately eliminate 

healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) 

nationwide. 

DATES: CDC must receive written

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also 

requires Federal agencies to provide a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each new 

proposed collection, each proposed 

extension of existing collection of 

information, and each reinstatement of 

previously approved information 

collection before submitting the 

collection to the OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, we are 

publishing this notice of a proposed 

data collection as described below. 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments that will help: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses; and 

5. Assess information collection costs.
